Lock in 2006 Visa/MC Processing Rates Before Increase
 Year after year MasterCard and Visa have consistently announced nationwide interchange processing rate increases each April. If your HBA and members accept credit cards for payment, you know how much these changes impact your association's and your members' bottom lines.
Industry experts anticipate another rate increase this spring.
NAHB has negotiated an exclusive deal for members to avoid this potential increase. Members who enroll in the NAHB Credit Card Processing Program through Solveras Payment Systems before Wednesday, Feb. 28 will lock in 2006 rates.
That means if MasterCard and Visa raise rates in April, your processing rates will not increase with the rest of the country, but instead remain at the same 2006 levels.
Add that to the program’s regular discounts on credit card processing, simplified monthly billing and an easy-to-read account statement, and you’ll find an excellent opportunity for you to keep more profit on every credit card sale.
Take advantage of the free savings analysis to see in writing how this program can cut your monthly costs and streamline your billing process. This tool consistently uncovers savings for two out of three businesses — finding average projected savings of 17%.
You and your members should take a moment to see how this program could impact your bottom line.
